BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: A temporal bone CT study in a patient with episodic mid-
tone sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus demonstrated absence of bone between the …

The carotid canal conveys a large artery and lies in close topographic relationship to the
basal turn of the cochlea. The bony wall between them consists in some cases only of the …

Cochlear implantation is a treatment for patients with severe sensorineural hearing
loss/deafness, who get no help from ordinary hearing aids. The cochlear implant is …

Purpose The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the topographic relations of
cochlea with vital neurovascular structures and their implications for cochlear implantation …

Background The advent of cochlear implantation has revolutionized the options afforded to
the deaf population. With the increase in the prevalence of this procedure have come larger …

The purpose of this study was to determine the normal variations of cochlear nerve canal
dimensions, which is useful information to have when assessing congenital malformations …

Preoperative radiographic imaging of the temporal bone is well accepted in otology for both
the diagnosis of disease and the delineation of anatomic structure for surgical planning …

BACKGROUND: Numerous complications have been described following cochlear
implantation. Most of them are post-operative and benign, but some are intra-operative and …

Computed tomographic (CT) examinations were performed in seven patients after cochlear
implant surgery. Preimplantation CT demonstrated the petrous anatomy well and revealed …

A sound knowledge of the topographic anatomy of the cochlea, especially of the distances
between it and the adjacent structures, is essential for otosurgery in general, and in surgical …
